Richard Vobes - Public Speaker

I wear many hats as you shall discover. I am TV's Bald Explorer. I am a presenter, children's author, entertainer and filmmaker. You can find my work all over the internet as well as on the traditional television. Watch me exploring the UK's wonderful history on the Community Channel, a TV station on Freeview, Sky and other digital platforms. (Find out more by taking a look at my promotional video below.)

Entertaining Speaker.

Having spent thirty years performing, film making and generally making a fool of myself, I offer an insight to my unusal career and life. I provide a witty, intelligent and engaging talk on a variety of subjects suitable for all. Recent appearence include Lady's That Lunch and Canal Restoration Groups!

My career has included appearances on ITV's The Bill and Poirot. I have been a fire eater and laid on a bed of nails and wrote and stared in Children's televison. I won an award for my daily 30 minute podcast which came from a Beach Hut on the South Coast of England.

In 2006 I lost my left eye and I now wear a prosthesis, but it hasn't stopped me entertainment. My Bald Explorer series receives fabulous recognition and I have recently published my first children's book, 'Splidge the Cragflinger', an adventure novel for 9-12 year olds, the first of a series of adventures.
